clicking each build window material should allow selection of possible textures to preview the final object in full glory

Showing "selection of possible" materials during building with resources like wood or stone will show hundreds of textures, which will semantically overload players, it's a bad design.

Not sure if you were aware, but I'll mention, hovering build material over build window material already shows how it will look as primary, secondary or tertiary material depending on place you hover over.

thats bonkers. the game is loaded with such lists. if you can scroll though all those options in Haven Material Desinger Tool, why not in game?
if presented neatly in a grid, small scrolling widget, i'd like that option while building.
